Mr. Bob Bone, Executive Director of Youth Music of the World (www.youthmusic.org) Extends an Invitation to the Spirit of Great Oak for...

La Grande Parade de Paris - Nouvel An 2016In March of this year it was announced that the City of Paris had partnered with the Youth Music of the World group to stage its New Year celebrations from 2016.

Youth Music is famed for its international Street Spectaculars, and renowned Concert Series presented in Europe's greatest capitals. So when asked by the Mairie de Paris to add a New Year's Day Parade in Paris, starting on January 1st, 2016, on their stellar portfolio of events, Youth Music eagerly accepted the opportunity.

The Parade has just been given a title. It will be known as "La Grande Parade de Paris." It will undoubtedly be a great Parade. The processional route will ensure that the Parade will commence in Place de La Concorde, and proceed all the way along the most famous of Parisian thoroughfares, the Champs Elysees, to the Arc de Triomphe at Etoile. The Parade will then turn and process back along the Champs Elysees to the Tuileries Gardens. This is possibly the most prestigious route of any Parade in Europe, if not, the world.

When announcing the partnership with Paris, Bob Bone, Honorary President of Youth Music, said that it was indeed a terrific accolade and a testimony to the organization's unrivalled reputation, experience, and expertise in staging the very best international events.

Bob went on to say that only elite performing groups will be considered for participation, and that his Consultants and Senior Executives were already scouring the world for candidates to be issued with invitations.

One of the very first groups to be recommended to Youth Music to participate in the momentous inaugural "Grande Parade de Paris" was the Great Oak High School marching Band from Temecula, California. Youth Music remembers the Great Oak Band from their superb performances in London in 2013, and therefore were absolutely delighted to be able to present Great Oak's credentials to the Paris Authorities.

The Paris Authorities agree wholeheartedly that Great Oak would be a tremendous embellishment to their inaugural Parade, and therefore Youth Music have been instructed to issue an invitation to the Great Oak High School Marching Band to participate in the inaugural Grande Parade de Paris on the Champs Elysees in Paris on January 1st, 2016.

The formal invitation to Paris will be delivered by Bob Bone from Youth Music of the World in person to the band at an official ceremony to be held in Temecula in the Autumn of 2014.
